I want to be cremated. I've seen the damage it does to people to feel obligated to visit a headstone, remember to order flowers to be put on it on special occassions, feeling guilty for moving away from the headstone, and the way it won't allow people to let go because the headstone becomes the "physical presence" of the person who is gone.
It's horrible. Burn me up and let me blow away on the wind. Then go on with your life.

I've told my family since I was a kid that I wanted to be cremated with 1/2 my ashes put in the mountains and the other 1/2 in the ocean. My brother says he'll come to my house and sprinkle 1/2 in my yard since I live in the mountains and flush the other 1/2 down the toilet since those will EVENTUALLY make it to the ocean. :angry:
I received one of those free $1000 life insurance policies from the company I have my car/home insurance from and put him as the beneficiary and told him he had to use it to take my ashes to the REAL ocean. :P
